The glaring difference between us and Geelong was their absolute agression at the ball and the man at the ball. In 2004 and 2005 we were the hunters we attacked the ball with a ferocity that made other sides nervous. I still get chills when I watch the replay of the Wizard GF when Ling got cleaned u...

I am 44 but supporting this club for 35 of those years has aged me considerably (Dad you have a lot to answer for!! )

PLAY THE KIDS

Promote Eddy
Geary
Armitage
Ferguson
Stevens

Ferguson is not a kid he is 24, he has been tried and is not up to AFL standard. FFS we delisted him and 15 other clubs said no thanks!!! Why do we keep flogging the same old dead horse.

Is this guy the most over rated player on our list? He is terrible in a contest, refuses to tackle will not put his head over the footy and burns the ball more than most. He had 14 possies today and an efficiency rate of 57%!! He has got way ahead of himself must go back to the basics, if it wasn't ...

This is a great point Rodger. One of my pet hates is how when the opposition gets possession across half back the entire side just fall back into defence and let them stroll down the field until they get the ball into a dangerous zone. Then if we do win possession we look up and see a wall of opposi...

Jason Gram = SOFT!!! Will not tackle will not put any body pressure. It was emabarrising to see how easy Hill brushed past him. I am sick to death of players being considered good footballers because they can get 18 uncontested possessions playing loose off the half back line. For Gods sake, any hal...

They both take disabled passengers?

Pure Gold!!!

Add another one to the whipping boy pages, fair dinkum we win games and some still find things to whinge about. Raph is still a relative rookie in footy terms, he is hard at it, quicker than people think and his skills are good, give these blokes some time for god sakes.

It amuses me how everyone is having a go at Jones because of his kicking style, I watched the game twice today and although he is one sided he barely missed a target and he was definetly the best chaser and tackler on the park. On the other hand Jason Gram who has a great kicking style shanked the c...

Hats are only for members who are also either social club or reserved seat holders as well

Rix will play as a tall defender picking up Johns or Hille, there aren't many other options without Max and Goose in the line up, I would hate to throw Gilbert or Raph at these two big guys and Fisher will get Lucas

From what I've seen so far this season, G is basically doing the body on body wrestling work drawing opponents to the contest allowing Kosi the freedom to come in late from the side of the pack to jump over the lot of them. This works well as G can barely get off the ground these days but he still i...

The best thing about C Gardiner is he has a HUGE motor, He ran all day and if you look at him in the last quarter he was hardly blowing at all whilst most of the other guys on the park looked knackered. Him and Roo continually leading up the ground is going to bring backmen to their knees!!

Had serious ankle/achilles issues. Club medical team at the time thought that he wasn't going to be able to play again so he was delisted.

Why is M Gardiner unfit? He hasn't missed a session.

geez some supporters sh1t me, ballbanger.. Fraze doesnt bust a gut, is that right? He has played with some shocking injuries week in week out. He has such a high pain threshold. You would curl up in the feotal position in the same boat. Shut up an get off his back, the guy is welcome back any time h...

This is the funnies thing i have seen in ages!!!

Brock McLean is a gun, I still have nightmares about him ripping us a new one in last years final. Tough uncompromising in and under midfielder. Would have him in a heart beat. Travis Johnstone is brilliant skills but tends to disappear out of a game. Maybe we have too many like him already

Saw Gardi at Qantas club in Melbourne this morning, asked him how the foot was, he said it was feeling the best it had in ages and he would be right to go for all of pre-season. Nice bloke quite chatty. Also saw Hasebly on the flight from Melbourne to Sydney, looking very overweight. (Not game to te...

What you fail to understand is that although we had a better list of players on the park for the second half, the majority of them had had either extended periods of time off the field and training track or very limited pre-seasons. This would explain why when we had plenty of run in the legs in the...

I think someone should also point out to the author that we missed the eight by more than half a game.

8 ADE 22 110 48
9 STK 22 97 46

Should point out to the poster that when your wrong your wrong!!!!

Yes, our million dollar profits are largely due to AFL handouts Lets get this straight. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN GIVEN A HANDOUT BY THE AFL!!! Handouts are given as part of the equilisation fund and has to be requested by clubs and approved after review of financials by the AFL. We have never asked for a...

Raph Clarke showed us again why he still demands 'dud' status, he moves like a battleship, and up stairs he's even slower 20 possessions only 2 were ineffective played on a guys much taller and absolutely belted them and he is a dud. You are a d**khead!!!! Get off his back he has had no pre-season ...

Of course Baker is going to admit he had contact with Farmer!! Farmer ran into him!! That's not the point, the point made by Lewis is that because there was no evidence as to how the contact was made Baker should have just said that the contact was purely accidental and not made because he delibera...

Illegal block at root of woes 23 August 2007 Herald Sun Daryl Timms FORMER AFL prosecutor Ricky Lewis believes St Kilda tagger Steven Baker was poorly advised on the evidence he gave the tribunal this week. Lewis said the Saints had only themselves to blame for Baker's seven-match suspension after h...
